June 12: 2nd Friday Artwalk featuring Daniel Wallace!

Caffè Driade is thrilled to feature the work of Daniel Wallace at our caffe in concert with the Carrboro-Chapel Hill 2nd Friday Artwalk! All proceeds will benefit Table.

A long-time customer of the caffe, Daniel is the author of Big Fish and many other award-winning novels. He’s a creative writing professor at UNC, his alma mater. This will be his first, and probably only, art show.

Caffè Driade will be open extended hours (until 9PM) during the Artwalk on Friday June 12. We look forward to hosting you and sharing Daniel’s work!

Some thoughts from Daniel about his art:

“I’ve been painting, drawing, illustrating – whatever what I do is called – for a long time now. Greeting cards, t-shirts, and cartoons on refrigerator magnets in the beginning. Then, inspired by folk artists in Alabama, where I grew up, I collected scraps of lumber from construction sites and dumpsters and started painting on them. Lots of dogs and cats at first, then people. Then people and dogs. It’s an uncomplicated pleasure. I avoid depth, ambiguity, and meaning beyond what you can see and read, in the hope that it’s an uncomplicated pleasure for all concerned, a story you can tell yourself.”

Music. Art. Coffee. Wine. Beer…It’s all Here!

If there’s a more beautiful place to enjoy music in Chapel Hill, we’ve yet to find it. We host music outdoors under the trees on our patio from May-October. Usually for free, you can enjoy amazing musicians over world-class coffee, wine and beer.  We’re equally proud of the local art on our walls…always changing monthly, and always interesting.

Caffe Driade is also an incredible place to host your event. Contact us to discuss options, pricing and availability.
